DISH-STAND.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 52,576, dated February 13, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, ISAAC W. LAMB, ofRoch-' ester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Dish-Stands for Protecting Sugar, Sauce, and other Articles; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilledi'u the art to make a'nd use the same, reference being had to the accompauying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which Figure lis a perspective view of one of my dish-stands, showing the form of the parts and the position of the water-cup. Fig. 2 is avertical section of the same. showing the water in the water-cup.

My invention consists in the construction of a dish-stand with a small water-cup formed around its standard, so that when such watercnp is filled with water the pathway or track of ants and other insects will be intercepted.

by the water, and, as a consequence, sugar, sauce, or other articles placed on such stand will be protected against ants and other insects.

It further consists in the means provided for readily filling the water-cup.

A represents the base; B, the standard; 0, the top of the stand, and D the water-cup.

The several parts may be made in any form desired, and of any size that may be needed.

They can also be made of any material that may be found best.

The material most commonly used will, I think, he glass or earthen, and I design to construct them of such size as will permit of their being set on shelves in a pantry or cupboard, and one of them be only large enough to per; mit a sugar-bowl or other dish to be set upon .it. It is plain, however, that they ma be' made of wood or iron, and of any size desired. It is also plain that a stand may be constructed with three or more legs or standards, and each of the legs be provided with a water-cup 't'ormed around it, so that many articles may be set upon a single stand.v

When made of the small sizes I make a bead, e 0, around the top of each, to' prevent any dish slipping oh that may be set upon them. I also make a smallopening or hole,

What I claim as my invention, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, a dish: stand having a cup, orits equivalent, suitable for containing'water or other fluid, formed around its standard, substantially as and for the purpose herein described.

ISAAC W. LAMB.
